Gold's Gym Slaughter & South Congress

Been working out here since I moved to Austin.I used to be a trainer in FL, and as I watch the trainers here, they are better the the majority of those in FL because they actually pay attention to their clients.Majority of people workout out here are pretty decent and respects your boundaries and space, although it can get a bit busy.Just about every time I enter the gym I am greeted, which is very pleasant.I do have a few issues:Taking photos and videos are prohibited, which makes no sense. And there is zero usage of chalk.Still gets 5 ⭐️ for the other reasons.

The custodian, Luis, is an amazing man. That gym is the cleanest public space I have ever seen all thanks to him. He’s always so nice and has a joke lined up to make my morning Monday through Friday. This dude deserves a raise and some praise!

They will charge you $70 to cancel your membership as they require a 30-day window post cancellation.The sauna is filled with people in sweaty gym clothes, because there is no direction or concern from Gold's to shower and change clothes before going in -- even though this has been addressed. Have fun getting a bacterial or viral infection in there!

I joined Golds 6 years ago when I moved to Austin and they have always been great. Not until recently they have shifted their branding to be more of a Planet fitness and this includes the other golds gym in the area. The staff there are not very friendly or helpful and seem annoyed whenever you ask them for help or a question with the exception of peace sign girl, she’s awesome. The manager only walks around looking for things to call out members for and even when she’s up at the desks seems like she doesn’t want to help anyone. My wife and I will be looking for a new gym and will be canceling our memberships here.

I have been here a few weeks now and I love when I come in I’m always greeted so friendly with a good morning or asking how I’m doing. Kelsy is so friendly and always goes out of her way to talk to the guests and get to know them. This gym makes me feel comfortable and that the staff genuinely cares and loves their job! The gym is very clean and the staff is friendly. I’d give 10 stars if I could!!

Overall the place is pretty amazing. It's clean, packed with machines with sufficient room to navigate between them. I can live without techno music. They have lots of group classes, more for the Gold's fitness classes than the non or base membership. Friday's Zumba could use better calling so you know what to do next. The staff is amazing! Showers are available!

I had my car broken into while at this location. Not the first time I’ve seen it happen. Some additional security measures should be taken if this is a known issue.Otherwise, this location is fine. Very crowded during peak times but that’s every gym in Austin. Nice staff.

Gold’ s Gym is very clean and offers a great silver sneakers class with an amazing instructor, Jennifer Aguilar. The gym is kept very clean by Luis. He is always friendly and polite. Thank you Gold’s for all your workers as they always greet you and very friendly.

Love coming here.Also very happy the golds employees have been regulating thegYm BrOs with their tripods recording and duffel bags being all over the gym floor.I will say, avoid the afternoons between 4:00-7:00. Very crowded and you’ll be dodging free weights.All the staff is super nice and I love seeing the maintenance/cleaning guy in the morning. He’s so sweet and seems to LOVE his job.

Nice place with even nicer staff. Specifically Luis Patino. Works nonstop to keep the place clean and hygienic and it shows. Plus he’s gotta be one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Always joking around, motivating people, and working hard. Love him, the other staff, and the gym. Great experience.
